Criteria	0	1	2	3
Standards/ Objectives	*	Rote memorization of content "objectives"	Meets content standards (both content and skills)	Meets content, Habits of Mind, and ISTE (or enGauge) objectives
Activity(s) Task(s)	Edutainment or Technotainment*	add here	add here	Promote understanding Tasks reflect the objectives Tasks build on one another to form a cohesive unit At least one task is open-ended Challenging for all - Offers extensions for more motivated learners and/or adaptations for students with special needs Challenge/problem/inquiry based
Technology - & - SAMR	Technology(s) chosen for the sake of using the technology, or Technology(s) acts as direct tool substitute, with no functional change - Substitution	Other technology(s) could fit the task(s) better than the technology(s) selected, but Technology(s) acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement - Augmentation	Technology(s) fits the task well, and Technology(s) allows for significant task redesign - Modification	Technology(s) selected based on thoughtful consideration of its affordances and constraints, and Technology(s) allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable - Redefinition Integral and authentic part of activity/project/unit Tool for collaboration, communication, research, and/or problem-solving (already covered by Standards bullet?)
Assessment	add here	add here	add here	Includes student reflection during and after activity/project/unit Authentic and integrated throughout the Unit Includes a variety of strategies, e.g. portfolios, rubrics, performance tasks, peer review, or culminating projects
Pedagogy	add here	add here	add here	Teams or pairs of students work together during at least one task
TPCK	Weighted heavily toward the technology, content, or pedagogy	Two elements given more consideration/attention than the third	*	Technology, Pedagogy and Content balanced to fit cohesively

"Students reveal their understanding most effectively when they are provided with complex, authentic opportunities to explain, interpret, apply, shift perspective, empathize, and self-assess. When applied to complex tasks, these "six facets" provide a conceptual lens through which teachers can better assess student understanding." - Wiggins - http://www.grantwiggins.org/ubd/ubd.lasso
